Roberta Nee Adams grew up in Tullahoma, Tennessee, in a large and loving family. She graduated from Tullahoma High School and nearby Motlow State Community College. Her varied career has included selling commercial printing, police and 911 dispatching, and pharmaceutical clinical research, even owning her own research company before retiring. She is now an award winning newspaper reporter. Roberta enjoys writing stories, poems, and songs. She has always strongly related to the Civil War time period, so recalls writing her book as one of her most challenging and rewarding experiences of her life. Roberta is the proud mother of three grown children, nine grandchildren, and one great grandchild. She currently lives in Shelbyville, Tennessee. Besides continuing to write, she enjoys gardening, crocheting, working with stained glass, and spending good times with her family and her SO, Tom.
